For a wide class of elliptic boundary value problems in variational form, \textit{F. Stummel} has established a generalized patch test to guarantee convergence of nonconforming finite element approximations [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 16, 449-471 (1979; Zbl 0418.65058)]. On the basis of Stummel's work, a (sufficient) patch test is presented, which applies to elliptic variational inequalities. It is applied to a fourth order model problem in \(\mathbb{R}^ 2\). The test passes for the nonconforming element of Morley, and also for the element of Zienkiewicz provided that the triangulation is generated by three families of parallel lines.
